How does one make a texture pack? I have this idea, but I need to know how to do it.

I use Paint NET. and GIMP

The textures are just files in the data directory. Just edit or replace them and make a zip/whatever package containing the new ones.

You must have at least gimp (I only use him) if you take a texture pack Minecraft, you need the terrain.png, and paticles.png items.png.
You must copy the once registered under the same name and the same extension that is to say in *.png.

GIMP is free : http://www.gimp.org/

Once you do them in my data folder of minetest.
ATTENTION If you did not do any pictures, do not delete others!
To give you the pack is zip.

The textures can be of any resolution, however please make it a power of 2 (32x32, 64x64, 16x16, 256x256 and so, exceptions can be made for rats/oerkki/players)

You can use any image editing software that supports transparency and .png format.

You can not use paint because it does not support transparent pixels.

And if we can change the player, the oerkki (zombie?) And rat (chicken?? =))

The png not start nc_ *** fontlucia and skybox are not on Minecraft. While with the skybox you can put the moon and sun.

Okay. I have experience with GIMP. Now, how do I make the day sky light everything up and torches create light?

The natural light and torch light is done code side not texture, so basically you could make the torch a solid black square and it would still emit light in-game ^_^

Oh. Awesome! :D So, all I have to do is make images with transparent backgrounds in a png format and give them the same names as the images I'm replacing then, correct? :)

Yep ^_^

Yep, you must obtain all 98 images to the latest version of its minetest and get: http://imageshack.us/g/13/woodk.png/

Where do i go to make a texture pack

I'm using GIMP, and try to edit textures, but here's question - how to draw animated? I see - most of textures are .png, but png doesn't support animation...
@Down: Thx, i saw it on TNT, but weren't sure - will minetest open it, as it should be opened ;)

*My lovely, weak english :D*

Look at default_water_flowing_animated.png in the default mod.
The frames are just vertically, so if you want 10 frames (each 16x16) you will have a source texture with 16x160 px.
